I just have loaded the factory presets (almost unchanged) that I had exported of my DX7II (bought in the 80s and I still have it). Many of the sounds are almost the same as the original, but there are some with pitch changes that sound completely awful in the FM8 (the pitch changes too much). I had noticed the same thing with Dexed some years ago, where I tried the patches the first time.

There's also OPS7 from chipsynth that can open syx'es. It's an interesting alternative to all these lovely synths mentioned in this thread. Might be worth downloading the trial and see if it will interpret presets from the hardware synths any better.

😂

Confirming monthly voucher invalid for me too, bummer. Moving on...

Too bad, I have a couple of his instruments on the list. Unfortunately there's only so much money each month.

Listening to demos, these sound really good. And the other one, Glow, another interesting one. My problem is I'm already 'bloated' with good reverbs and these are still a little too expensive for me. Decisions, decisions...

is that flat out 2.7 or will it run faster?

just checked online, it can get a max TurboSpeed of up to 3.40GHz so no bad at all (for me)

Just a tad slow , is that flat out 2.7 or will it run faster?

There are peeps running on that spec.

it's i5-3340M.. if you're asking about hyperthreading or anything along that lines then I'm not inclined enough to tell 😅 but it's a great cheap 2nd hand Latitue laptop and for me, for any non-gaming tasks, it's doing a fine job and as for music software, I can run almost everything except probably the most demanding ones, that I don't use anyway

Vocalise 3 and Mozaic Voices are now at 50% off(...)

Vocalise 3 is 119$ regular price, so 49$ is more than 50% off.

Are you still seeing $49? I see they've corrected the price for Vocalise 3 back to 33% off here. I was just about to buy it but for this price it's a pass for me.

What i5?

I got the bit faster cpu 4x 2,70GHz, not the typical slower one which is around 2,50GHz (still fine imo)... it's working like a breeze, man

but I don't do any gaming

I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5

Core i5 on my testing machine here too. I have another, i7 production machine, but I don't do tests there.

______________________________

EDIT: just realized that "i5" probably doesn't say much about the speed of a CPU 😂

my i5 is the 3340M (up to 4x 3.40GHz, base speed is 2.70), and my i7 is the 6700 (max 8x 4.00GHz.. base 3.40)

B3's are used in rock, blues, R&B, neo soul, country, house and jazz (there's probably more...)

Yes, gospel! Also it's worth mentioning that the initial idea for creating a cabinet organ was to miniaturize pipe organs so that one could bring it home and practice classical music 😆. Personally I'd say it's been a huge, huge part of any 'organic' type of music, but then you will find samples of it in house music, as rightfully pointed out, and pop.

Edit: and then, only 2 hours later, I have read the Vernon's comment about "organic sound"  

More beans anyone?

I'll get my Aparillo...

Thanks for pointing out about new versions of Ozone and Neutron Elements being cut down, I have Ozone 9 Elements and Neutron 3 Elements in my account so I should be fine. Which version of RX Elements would be best to have then?

Avoid this and invest in something like...

Thank you. The blurb gives impression as if you are getting something to have inspiration for years, when doing some mixing/recording. But not this type of inspiration you are talking about 🙄 so you just saved me the headache day after! Appreciate.

I thought Mixing with Mike was a free series, I have watched some videos on youtube. Also I remember there was something called Bob Owsinski's 101 Mixing Tricks (or Mix Tricks) where I have literally first time heard about things like parallel compression or NY style reverb trick! That would be cool if we could get it on a good sale.

Looking for opinions, please?

a. Buy  $5 Soundiron sample pack.

b. Buy something for $20 more that I may or may not use.

c. Wait a few days wasting hours of my time watching Audiodeluxe to see if anything that I may or may not use goes on sale .

You also have the option d.) Buy a strong gas medicine for $29,99

but as most of us here know, it doesn't work at all so you'll be wasting money, so I advice going back to points a-c.  

Check out on jrrshop.com with codes either 'group' or 'forum'. Also don't forget to check on blowout.jrrshop.com there sometimes offers can surprise. For me that was the cheapest last time I bought Pianoteq (or upgrade).

Got the reply from support finally. This should work now.

Kirchhoff is not on sale now so I have no reason to use it  Thanks!

Not on sale, though

I'm sure it's there:

And where's my Aparillo!

I’m seeing same issue. I used portal first and didn’t work. I then tried direct download and there was a quick message that popped up about servers being overwhelmed.  I’ll try again later this weekend.

Yes that's it, I emailed support. Waiting for reply seems sooooo loooooooooooooooooooong...

Worked first time here.

Have you tried from UVI directly?

https://www.uvi.net/my-products#PRO376

Thanks for trying. Yes, that's exactly what I do, I don't use Portal. Hmm think it's time to connect with support...

So here we go. I contacted Best Service and told them about the problem and that I would prefer to have the license rather than money back and they immediately have taken care of my case. I had to wait a day and a little more for a reply but when they came back to me they said unfortunately that they have tried everything but could help it anymore so, they had to refund the money. Now that's what I call customer care, kudos BS!👍

After many attempts I finally got also some information from GM about procedures for reselling their licenses, should I decide for it, good to know that at least it's possible. But I have learnt a lot about how the GM support works.

Bottom line is, buying software you like is one thing, dealing with support, should you need it, is another.

I can't download Prime 8+. I'm trying since two days and all I get is a pop-up with apology and encourage to try later. Anyone can successfully get it to downloading?
